Arrow Post your BCP recommendations!

I'm going back in to my endo for my lab work tomorrow and am pretty certain he's going to put me back on The. Pill. Pre-PCOS I took at least 3 different types of BCP (Levlen, then Zovia, don't remember the most recent one). Post-PCOS dx, I don't know what I should be on. I've been through some of the BCP threads but I'd still like to know in a word---

Are there any medications you've had a GREAT experience with and/or HORRIBLE experience with? I'd just like to know your experiences so I can ask some questions about whatever he recommends.

THANKS SC-ERS!

I had a horrible experience with yasmin, it made my hair paper thin, and gave me panic disorders and heart palpatations , it also made me angry emo mess!!! it made my skin very oily. and did clear up my skin though, i have also done horribly on ortho tri, it gave me huge cystic acne, I did okay on ortho novum, just kinda acne. all them made me emo. I like desogen so far except i m breaking out on my chin, but i just started this pill so its to be expected. my mood is stable and fine so far so good.

I loved Yasmin when I was on it because it made me loss much weight! But it also made me sick for the first two weeks. IMO it was well worth it but that's just me. It also cleared my acne and helped with extra hair.
